PREFACE. 


This  publication  was  not  designed  to  compete  with  the  convenient  Man- 
ual of  Tariffs  prepared  by  Mr.  Ogden,  or  any  similar  work ;  but  simply 
to  place  in  the  hands  of  those  who  might  desire,  for  their  own  satisfaction, 
to  compare  the  published  tariff  lists  with  existing  statutes,  the  means  of 
readily  doing  so.  It  will  be  seen  that  there  are  statutory  provisions  upon 
the  subject,  still  in  force,  which  date  as  far  back  as  the  year  1838.  Our 
duty  laws  were  hidden  away  in  a  confused  mass  of  obsolete  and  repealed 
matter,  so  that  they  were  almost  inaccessible,  not  only  to  those  whose  in- 
terests were  most  affected  by  them,  but  even  to  experts,  lawyers,  and  courts. 
It  has  been  the  purpose  of  the  compiler  to  bring  order  out  of  this  confu- 
sion, and  to  furnish  to  all  interested  a  clear  presentation  of  the  statutes 
now  in  force.  He  trusts  that  this  little  book,  which  has  cost  him  a  vast 
deal  of  labor,  will  prove  useful  to  those  for  whom  it  was  intended. 

THE    COMPILER. 


EXPLANATION 


It  will  be  seen  that  all  the  paragraphs  iii  this  pamphlet  which  prescribe 
duties  are  numbered  consecutively,  and  that  the  index  refers  to  these 
paragraphs.  The  arrangement,  excepting  in  the  case  of  the  Eesolutions  of 
April  29  and  June  27,  1864,  is  strictly  chronological.  The  index  gives 
only  the  names  of  articles  enumerated  in  the  statutes.  When  there  are 
references  to  two  or  more  paragraphs,  it  will  be  found,  on  examination  of 
the  introductory  clause  of  the  section  under  which  the  article  referred  to 
is  arranged,  that  rates  have  been  prescribed  in  addition  to  previous  duties, 
or  that  the  paragraphs  relate  to  or  elucidate  each  other.  Thus,  paragraph 
No.  14  placed  the  duty  "  on  woollen  and  worsted  yarns,  or  yarns  for  car- 
pets, valued  under  fifty  cents  per  pound  and  exceeding  number  fourteen," 
at  30  per  centum  ad  valorem ;  at  the  end  of  this  paragraph  are  references 
to  Nos.  424,  579,  and  721.  It  will  be  found  that  424  imposed  5  per  centum 
in  addition  to  the  previous  duty  on  all  woollen  and  worsted  yarns,  and  that 
579,  while  it  repealed  the  previous  duties  on  all  other  woollen  and  worsted 
yarns,  left  those  enumerated  in  No.  14  (to  wit,  those  "  exceedhig  in  fine- 
ness number  fourteen  ")  untouched.  It  is  manifest,  therefore,  that  prior 
to  the  act  of  March  2, 1867,  to  which  721  refers,  the  duty  on  yarns  "  ex- 
ceeding in  fineness  number  fourteen"  was  regulated  by  Nos.  14  and  424, 
and  all  other  grades  by  579.  But  the  recent  act  of  March  2,  1867,  re- 
peals all  previous  rates  on  woollen  and  worsted  yarns,  and  prescribes  a 
uniform  rate  in  721.

the  provisions  of  this  act,  shall  be,  and  the  same  are  hereby  repealed.

Act  of  August  30,  1842.t 

CHAP.  CCLXX.  —  An  Act  to  provide  Revenue  from  Imports,  and  to  change  and  modify      Stat,  at  Large, 
existing  Laivs  imposing  Duties  on  Imports,  ana  for  other  Purposes.  Vol.  V.  p.  548. 

2.  Section  20.j  There  shall  be  levied,  collected,  and  paid,  on  each 
and  every  non-enumerated  article  which  bears  a  similitude,  either  in  ma- 
terial, quality,  texture,  or  the  use  to  which  it  may  be  applied,  to  any 
enumerated  article  chargeable  with  duty,  the  same  rate  of  duty  which  is 
levied  and  charged  on  the  enumerated  article  which  it  most  resembles  in 
any  of  the  particulars  before  mentioned  ;  and  if  any  non-enumerated  ar- 
ticle equally  resembles  two  or  more  enumerated  articles,  on  which  differ- 
ent rates  of  duty  are  chargeable,  there  shall  be  levied,  collected,  and  paid, 
on  such  non-enumerated  article,  the  same  rate  of  duty  as  is  chargeable  on 
the  article  which  it  resembles  paying  the  highest  duty ;  and  on  all  articles 
manufactured  from  two  or  more  materials,  the  duty  shall  be  assessed  at 
the  highest  rates  at  which  any  of  its  component  parts  may  be  chargeable. 
(275,  697.§) 

*  This  number  refers  to  the  paragraph  bearing  the  same  number. 

t  By  the  28th  section  of  this  act,  as  amended  by  act  of  March  2,  1857,  (11  Stat.  p.  168,)  "  The  importa- 
tion of  all  indecent  or  obscene  articles,  prints,  paintings,  lithographs,  engravings,  images,  figures,  daguerreo- 
types, photographs,  and  transparencies,  is  prohibited." 

X  Note  from  Brightly's  Digest.  —  "  This  section  was  not  designed  to  levy  duties,  but  to  check  fraud- 
ulent evasions,  or  prevent  doubts  in  the  execution  of  the  revenue  laws;  and  it  is  not  repealed  by  the  act  of 
1846.  (Stewart  vs.  Maxwell,  16  How.  150.)  Its  effect  is  not  to  impose  a  duty  on  an  article  not  provided  for 
in  the  act  of  1846,  or  a  different  duty  from  that  act;  but  it  simply  gives  a  rule  of  construction,  to  determine 
under  what  schedule  in  the  act  of  1846  a  given  article  shall  be  ranged  for  the  purpose  of  charging  duty. 
(Marlot  vs.  Lawrence,  1  Blatch.  608.)  It  applies,  however,  only  in  cases  where  an  article  has  not  been  spe- 
cially provided  for  in  the  act  of  1846.  (Lottimer  vs.  Lawrence,  ibid.  613.)  But  an  article  not  enumerated  by 
name  in  the  act  of  1846,  does  not  come  under  the  section  of  that  act  which  provides  for  non-enumerated  ar- 
ticles, provided  it  so  resembles  some  enumerated  article  in  quality,  material,  or  use  as  to  be  governed  by  this 
section  of  the  act  of  1842.    (Ross  vs.  Peaslee,  2  Curt.  C.  C.  499.")
